Neap tides are the ones that coincide with the Moon's First Quarter and Third Quarter.
The higher "spring" tides occur at the new and full Moon, while the lower "neap" tides occur at the first and third quarter Moons.
Neap tides
First quarter and third quarter phases of the moon produce the least variation in the tides.
The tides are called neap tides. These occur during the First and Third quarter (in terms of moon phases) and are lower than the tides during New Moon and Full Moon phases.

When the Moon is at Full and at Dark (New), tides are strongest. These are called "spring" tides. When the Moon is at First and Last Quarter, the tides are weakest. These are called "neap" tides.The reason is that the Solar tides are either added to, or subtracted from, the Lunar tides.
The name of the third quarter tide is called a neap tide. They are Spring tides that occur when the Sun and Moon line up.
during the first and last quarter of the moons gravitational
Spring tides, which are a little higher than normal, occur at the new and full moon phases.
this is called EbbTide
